We discuss the model for the Galactic sample of the AM CVn systems with Porb, ≤ 1500 s that can be detected in the optical and/or X-ray bands and may be resolved by the gravitational waves detector LISA. At 3 ≲ P ≲ 10 min all detectable systems are X-ray sources. At P ≳ 10 min most systems are only detectable in the V-band. About 30% of the X-ray sources is also detectable in the V-band. About 10,000 AM CVn systems might be resolved by LISA: this is comparable to the number of detached double white dwarfs that can be resolved. Several hundreds of AM CVn LISA sources might be also detectable in the V- and/or X-ray bands.

Resumen

Resumen

Discutimos el modelo para la muestra Galáctica de sistemas AM CVn cоn Рorb ≤ 1500 s detectables en la banda óptica y/o en rayos-X y de resolverse por el detector de ondas gravitacionales LISA. En el caso de 3 ≲ P ≲ 10 min todos los sistemas que se detectan son fuentes de rayos-X. En el caso de la P ≳ 10 min mayoría de los sistemas se detectan sólo en la banda V. Alrededor de 10,000 sistemas AM CVn pueden ser resueltos por LISA; esto es comparable con el número de enanas blancas dobles separadas que puedcn ser resueltas. Es posible que varios cientos de fuentes AM CVn de LISA puedan ser también detectadas en las bandas V y/o de rayos-X.
